Additional Influences

Portable Fish Farm: Survival Piece #3, 1971, by the Harrisons.

If I were to chooses just one influence besides my personal experience of Hurricane Katrina, I would easily say the early works of Helen Mayer Harrison and Newton Harrison.

Among the leading pioneers of the eco-art movement, the collaborative team of Newton and Helen Mayer Harrison (often referred to simply as "the Harrisons") have worked for almost forty years with biologists, ecologists, architects, urban planners and other artists to initiate collaborative dialogues to uncover ideas and solutions which support biodiversity and community development.
